5.0 out of 5 stars Diverse World Music, June 20, 2002

One can't go wrong with any of the Six Degrees' Traveler compilations. This one in particular is lush with house and latin grooves from all over the world and it can be used as a chillout or a party CD, which gives this CD much spin in the disc player.
I also have Traveler 01, which is super-duper, and the Arabic Traveler which is surreal chillout. I plan on getting all of the Six Degrees collection.
Go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Six Degrees! What Do You Expect?!, February 24, 2004

Like all of Six Degrees' compilations, this is one is insanely eclectic, in a beautiful way. Some of the best tracks on the label can be found right here, from "Tengo Sed" (includes the great piano of Chucho Valdes!) to Bob Holroyd's "Rafiki" which is addictive like a drug (those horns!). There's great Asian chillout with DJ Cheb i Sabbah and the great vocals on Karsh Kale's "Jah Has Kool Girl." However, none of those amazing tracks can hope to match the final track here, Michael Franti and Spearhead's "Stay Human." This track summarizes in 6 minutes all that is wonderful about music, especially on the Six Degrees label. It's uplifting lyrically, has a great beat for bobbing your head, and the piano absolutely grabs you by the heart. I can listen to this song over and over and be moved, which is the sure sign of a classic! If you don't have any of the Traveler's series, start here and you too my child can see the light!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars World compilation at it's best..., November 29, 2003

By A Customer

Six Degrees does good on this world compilation...
From new latin beats to new asian beats - it cooks up an international stew of beats that's very tasty...
My favorite track is "Stay Human - Michael Franti & Spearhead" - a very deep track... So if you're a nu world dj, like I am, you need this cd, as well as nu world music fans in general...
...enjoy - DJ Dakini-NYC
